Welfare Fund

Introduction. In modern conditions, the problems of uncontrolled climate change, accompanied by the formation of new challenges to public welfare, become especially acute. The growing human impact on the environment leads to an increase in the number of emergencies, accompanied by a sudden sharp deterioration in the living standards of a large number of people. They also require significant efforts and financial resources to minimize their impact on public welfare. Reserve funds in the budgets are not able to fully meet the need for financial resources to eliminate negative externalities, which raises the question of finding new stabilization tools to address these issues. Methods. The research is based on a dialectical approach to cognition, which ensures its objectivity and complexity. General scientific methods are used in the process of research: analysis, generalization, systematization – to reveal the theoretical foundations of the problem; abstract and logical, argumentation – to develop a conceptual model for the establishment of the National Welfare Fund in Ukraine. Results. It is inserted that in modern conditions there is an increase in the role of sovereign welfare funds and the transformation of views on their purpose. At present, sovereign wealth funds are increasingly seen as a source of solving social and environmental problems. Contradictory attempts to establish special trust funds in Ukraine, which were somewhat similar to sovereign welfare funds, are highlighted. It is substantiated that in Ukraine there are prerequisites for the creation of a sovereign welfare fund, which will have positive economic and social consequences. A feature of the proposed concept of creating this fund in Ukraine is to secure for it the implementation of a program of temporary unconditional basic income, which will minimize the negative consequences of the latest challenges of global development for public welfare. Discussion. Further scientific research of the problem should include substantiation of organizational, legal conditions of functioning of the sovereign welfare fund in Ukraine, assessment of its optimal parameters, development of asset investment policy. Keywords: sovereign welfare fund, social welfare, basic unconditional income, financial resources, extraordinary circumstances.

The article covers the question of the enforcement of acts of “soft” law — unformal sources of regulation of public relations. It is pointed in the article, that though acts of “soft” law are not the sources of law in traditional understanding, such acts are important practical regulators of private-law relations. The author gives the common characteristic of acts of “soft” law, makes comparative analyses with legal acts. Although the most attention in the article is paid to the legal effect of the enforcement of acts of “soft” law, first of all, from the view of regulation of private-law relations. While preparing the article the complex of methods was used, which lay on the basis of systematical and dialectical concepts. The main conclusion of the issue is the acknowledgement of the fact of the exercising of influence by the acts of “soft” law on regulation of private-law relations. This article is based on a combination of methods of cognition, which amounted to a systematic and dialectical approach. The author appeals to the general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction) and to the specially-legal methods of learning: formal-legal, comparative legal, structural and functional.

The Impact

This article reviews the prerequisites, content and consequences of the impact of global processes on the sovereignty of modern states. The object of this research is the international legal relations and their peculiarities in the current context. The subject is the conditions and forms of restriction of sovereignty of national states, as well as contributing factors. Special attention is given to representations on the “fate” of sovereign rights and variants of their transformation reflected in the scientific literature, as well as change in the vector of development of globalization processes under the influence of strategy of the countries that act in accordance with their sovereign rights and national interests. The main method of “diluting” the state sovereignty are viewed based on the general scientific methods − induction and deduction, analysis, generalization, abstraction, modeling; sectoral methods of studying global processes: political scientific, statistical, formal-legal, specific-historical, and comparative. The research relies on the dialectical approach towards analyzing the concept of state sovereignty. The following conclusions were made: 1) modern world marks to multidirectional trends that testify to the transformation of state sovereignty, narrowing of its separate spheres in the conditions of globalization, or on the other hand, change in the vector of development of the global processes; 2) there is virtually no formal legal equality of the countries set by the leading norms of international law and underlying sovereignty; however, the national states continue demonstrating the resistance to global challenges; at the same time, the most “impregnable” for leveling sovereign rights is not the economy or politics, but cultural-historical values (the sphere of humanities); 3) in the conditions of globalization, the prospect of losing sovereignty depends on the degree of resistance to external challenges demonstrated by a particular state.

Significance Concern about the need to preserve one of the SWFs to support the pension system is probably a major reason behind the rejection. The Ministry of Economic Development had already approved part of the 1.3 trillion ruble (25 billion dollar) transfer to Rosneft from the National Welfare Fund. The intra-ministry dispute highlights how state firms are looking to SWFs for unconventional government financial support in the face of sanctions-driven stress on Moscow's budget and restricted access to international capital markets. Impacts SWFs are helping to offset the impact of low oil prices and regional turmoil. The anti-crisis effort is boosting spending on infrastructure. Weaker exchange rates will increase the value of resources in domestic currencies.

The paper examines the new concepts of Russian legislation introduced into the mechanism of legal regulation with the entry into force of the Federal Law “On Experimental Legal Regimes in the field of Digital Innovations in the Russian Federation” and analyzes the first projects approved as part of its implementation. Thus, one of the actively implemented types of regulatory technologies, as shown in the article, is the “regulatory sandboxes”. The establishment of an experimental legal regime within the framework of the functioning of “regulatory sandboxes” means the application to legal entities and individual entrepreneurs of a special, different from the generally established legal regulation (special regulation and general regulation – in the definitions of the law under study). The article analyzes the prerequisites and possible results of the implementation of a flexible system of legal regulation aimed at stimulating the development of technologies and preventing possible negative consequences associated, inter alia, with the use of artificial intelligence. When writing the work, of general scientific methods were used (such as: dialectical, systematic, analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, modeling, observation) and special private scientific methods of cognition (in particular, formal legal). In the course of using this methodology, the authors described in detail the distinctive characteristics and predictively outlined the features of a flexible system of legal regulation aimed at stimulating the development of technologies, as well as drew conclusions about the possibilities arising from the use of the mechanism of “regulatory sandboxes” in modern Russia.
